Then just drag and drop the .crx file in Google chrome browser and continue to install the crx file. But it shows a alert message as "CRX_MAGIC_NUMBER_INVALID".

You need to be signed into your Google account in order to download extensions from the Web Store now. It's stupid, but this is the best way. Source.

My friend had the same problem with installing a homebrew extension too. This should be the solution to your issue.
